What a fashionable cocktail, with message.

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2005)

Take some lines from the scripts of Logan's run, Blade Runner and THX1138. Put them all together in a very simple plot. Use a lot of CGI visual effects and action scenes. Finally add some "drops" of ads from Cadillac, Microsoft, a real one from Calvin Klein, etc., Mix well, Here you have the brand new cocktail called The Island.
Entertaining and refreshing for the summer, and well, even though it has a thin plot, it also has a very interesting let's say message, about the ethics of cloning human beings. The topic is probably only an excuse for the plot and the director's message is only superficial , but as in The Day after Tomorrow, when the leaders of the world does not care about the problems of the real world, and people is so alienated with trash TV, Hollywood has to come with topics that at least produces discussion.
